Current pets:

This is my cat Pirate. She is a tortoiseshell. I got her when she was a month old from Berkeley Animal Care Services. She is now one. This is Pirate the first week I brought her home. She was so crazy and wiggly it was hard to get a picture of her. Her birthday was 06/06/05. She is named after a character in the Lucas Arts game "Monkey Island" after Guybrush Threepwood. Her full name: Girlbrush "Pirate" Threepwood.

This is my cat Manny. I got him on 09/16/06 from my work, The Berkeley East-Bay Humane Society. I loved him the moment I saw him. He was born on 07/30/03. So he is three years old now. He is the sweetest cat ever. I named him Manny after another Lucas Arts game "Grim Fangango" after Manuel Calavera. His full name Manuel Francis Calavera.

This is our bunny, Darwin Irontail. He currently lives with my old roomie, Joey. Named after teh famous Charles Darwin and January Q. Irontail from the Rankin-Bass Peter Cottontail movie. We adopted him from Berkeley Animal Care Services, so we don't know his age. He is a gray adult dwarf bunny.

Fosters:

Pebbles was a cute little tabby kitten I fostered for 2 months through my work. She was a lot of fun and Pirate loved her, but now she is adopted.

Meiche (I named her after Manny's love interest in Grim Fandango) was a cute little calico cat who came to me with a bite wound. I nursed her back to health and gave her her meds and lots of love. After a few months she was adopted.

Catie aka Itta Beena was an adorable little tortie I fostered only for 3 days. She played with Manny and was super fun to have around. She let me hold her like a baby (see picture), she got adopted a few days after I took her back.

Lulu aka Itch aka Little Baby was a foster kitten I had for a few weeks. She was a pig! And very talkative. She'd chat at me and compain about always being hungry. She loved Manny.

Honey Pie was a cute little tortie kitten I aqquired for a short time from one of my friends. She got out for a week but came back, and shortly after that she was adopted by another one of my friends!

With the folks:

Back at my mom's house in San Diego we have 6 chihuahuas! Amy and Yogi are the parents of Molly Sophie Amos and Boo Boo (my mom named them). Yogi is my dog, but I don't get to see him much. He was mostly mine because he liked me more than everyone else and loved to follow me around. I miss him. The all of them on my bed! Often times I'd let all of them sleep with me like this. You can imagine how crowded it was!

Gone but not forgotten:

I got Skippy, a cocker spaniel when I was a toddler. And Lacey, a springer spaniel-hound mix since I was probably about 7. They have both passed on, but I miss them very much.

Here are Xeno and Nora. Xeno is named after a philosopher and Nora after Nora Walker from The Who's Tommy. Sadly, they have both passed on. They were our first pets when we moved to the Bay Area.
